| 207. The Journey Home: Remembering Who We Are Through The Primordial Code with Brian Costello | 16 Jun 2026 | 01:52:27 | |
In this closing episode of The Great Unlearn, Brian Costello, author of The Primordial Code, joins us for an intimate conversation about the dark night of the soul — the place where we meet our deepest truths and remember who we really are beneath the roles, expectations, and conditioning of the world around us. We explore themes from Brian's novel and the journey of awakening it portrays. This episode is a potent reflection on the very heart of The Great Unlearn: finding our way back to ourselves. Thank you for being here. It's been an honor to share this journey with you, and I'm excited for all that we get to create onward. Connect with Brian: Connect with Cal: | |||

Lennie Moreno, founder and designer of Place of Elms, speaks to the importance of exercising our critical thought and trusting our own discernment in a world constantly guiding us toward what to think, consume, and believe. Through Place of Elms, Lennie created an embodied expression of “wearing” his values. As both a creative and a seeker of truth, he built this brand as a daily practice of integrity.

| 205. The Life I Built Stopped Making Sense: The Journey Behind My New Book, UNLEARN | 20 May 2026 | 01:26:36 | |
UNLEARN isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about freeing yourself. It’s about meeting your life with honesty and realizing that even in the messy, uncertain, uncomfortable seasons, you may not be broken at all; you may simply be remembering who you are. In this conversation, led by my close brother Adam Schell, I share the deeply personal process behind my first book, UNLEARN: Letting Go Of Who You Never Were To Become Everything You Already Are, and the emotional and relational repercussions of placing impossible expectations on myself and chasing external success in order to feel worthy. I share what it looked like to peel back the identities, patterns, and beliefs I didn’t even realize I was carrying — and what happened when the life I had built stopped making sense.

| 204. Human Connection and the Modern Loneliness Pandemic with Michael Trainer | 12 May 2026 | 01:49:09 | |
Michael Trainer, author of Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection, illuminates one of the greatest pandemics of our time: loneliness. Michael shares his deeply healing journey with human connection after being jumped by a gang early in life and developing an intense fear of others — a wound that eventually became one of his greatest gifts in learning how to truly relate. In a world filled with technology and endless approximations of connection, we explore why loneliness is actually intensifying. We unpack the quality of online relationships, the importance of long-term connection, and the growing body of research showing that our happiness is deeply tied to the quality of our closest long-term relationships.

| 203. Behavior Expert Chase Hughes on Materialism, Meaning, and the Stories That Influence Us | 27 Apr 2026 | 01:49:05 | |
Chase Hughes returns for another round, joined by Adam Schell, for a wide-ranging conversation on what “awakening” actually points to. We’ve come to realize that maybe it’s less about feeling better and more about seeing clearly once illusions fall away. We explore how much of our suffering comes from taking too seriously what was meant for play, reflect on parenting in an age of conflicting information, question the idea that the news is more theater than truth, and touch on the edges of human potential that science can’t yet fully explain.

| 202. Emotional Mastery: From Understanding to Embodiment with David Sutcliffe | 20 Apr 2026 | 01:38:40 | |
We’ll always have blind spots. We won’t reach some final state of being healed. But we can continue to see more clearly, relate more honestly, open ourselves to new ways of connecting, and live more fully in our body. David Sutcliffe, emotional and relational mastery guide, speaks to the idea that transformation isn’t about fixing or arriving, but rather about becoming more fully embodied over time. At the heart of this episode is an invitation. To simply inhabit your experience more fully and honestly you.

| 201. The Coming World Nation with Philosopher Alex Sachon | 13 Apr 2026 | 02:05:29 | |
Alex Sachon is an esoteric philosopher who is deeply attuned to the rhythms shaping geopolitics. In this conversation, we explore the core ideas behind his book The Coming World Nation: Why Global Government is Inevitable. We’re living through a period of global transition. As systems shift, so does our understanding of reality itself. From the emergence of UFO phenomena to a broader reorientation toward spiritual law, Alex invites a deeper question: are we being guided out of purely material frameworks and into something far more expansive and supportive?

Bo Staloch is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter exploring the highs and lows of being alive. From failing a songwriting course to seeing that same song reach over 4 million listens, he shares how trusting his inner pull matters more than external opinion. In a raw conversation about coming down from touring and success, Bo reflects on the quieter, in-between moments — and how music becomes a way to heal, process emotion, and stay connected to what’s real. By staying true to himself within the industry, he lets the rhythm of real life guide both his art and the work he offers the world.
